From the bestselling authors of Diary of a Brilliant Kid comes the much-anticipated follow-up, Brill Kid - The Big Number 2
Brill Kid - The Big Number 2 takes Awesomeness to the next level!
This book is rock solid 'personal development' with a difference. A BIG difference! It's aimed at 7 to 11s, the exact age when mental habits are created. The book picks up where Diary of a Brilliant Kid left off - raising the bar from mental health to mental wealth, enabling young people to flourish in a world that's hell bent on knocking them sideways.
It's about happiness and wellbeing. It tells you how to shine when the world's a bit dull. It's about learning to be your best self and hanging in there when the world's doing its worst. It's got oodles of content about self-care, kindness and confidence. It's got facts, diagrams, stories, activities, quotes and lots of silliness!
Brill Kids will learn the following:
* Discover how life is actually all about crisps, sandwiches and milk and guess what - YOU are the magic ingredient!
* How to upgrade your life from just 'okay' to 'BRILLIANT!'
* Find out why LEGO and LIFE are actually the same thing (but spelt different obvs).
* Why kindness really does matter
* How to train your parents - yes, YOU!
* A personal letter to all the little (& big) worriers out there (fyi - there are lots of us)
Brill Kid - The Big Number 2 will inspire kids, make them laugh and learn and leave them bouncing with brilliance!
